Do you want to be a jockey? Chasing A Dream

[amzingjourney]

can i ask a question? why is it that after the numerous convictions of race fixing, that people still go to the track. THEY ARE STEALING FROM YOU>>>cant you get it through your stupid skull? And when they do get caught, the court slaps them on the wrist like a corrupt cop getting a second chance..Type RACE FIXING in GOOGLE...you will read numerous accounts and convictions of mass corruption over the years..TRUE STORIES of how jocks are paid off to stiff and steal your cash...U CANT WIN

That's real dirt they're running on - note the cloud they kick up. No dirt-sand mix like at Belmont, Pimlico or Churchill.

But I'm actually suppose to be 5 6 when I'm older and I only have 3.8 body fat. I also play hockey and to make the NHL u have to be tall so like I'm kind of in a pickle. I'm not sure what to do.:(

@HockeyMonster61 do whatever you really love to do. Just remember that only your weight matters. When you start you will most likely always have to be under 110 due to the 10 pound weight allowance. 5'6 is a perfectly fine height as long as you can make weight. Aaron Gryder is 5'6.

@HockeyMonster61 mate 5'6 is fine here in australia theres a jockey named steven arnold who is 5'10 and has ridden a few group winners in his career so you got no problem :)

[HockeyMonster61]

I'm only 12 years old and I'm 95 Pounds. What do I do!?

[futurejockey8]

@HockeyMonster61 you wait lol. You cannot legally obtain an exercise license in America until you are 16. If you grow up too heavy, you're too heavy. That's the harsh reality of this sport.

He is to tall never heard of the track its all about santa anitA

[futurejockey8]

@Y0GiBEARCHANN3L height doesn't matter. Weight does. Tallest jock in the SoCal circuit is Paul Atkinson at 5'7. As long as you can make weight, you're good.
